Pissflaps, we need to pay this informant. Sorry, I don't pay informants that make me go to them E. 4 years ago, Labour did well in local elections. Little did they know how bad this would be for Corbyn... Namtab fucked around with this message at 17:39 on May 1, 2016 |

"I've been interrogating the prisoner for a good solid hour, chief." "Has he confessed?" "No, but I've determined to my satisfaction that I'm definitely better and smarter than he is." "Where's your partner?" "He was behind the mirror. He had to listen to all of it. He shot himself after about fifteen minutes, chief."

So, while everyone's talking about how much Jeremy Corbyn loves or hates the Jews, the Tories are planning on banning Strictly and Doctor Who from being shown on Saturday nights in the BBC Charter. Of course, this will totally not cripple the BBC's creative output by putting their most popular shows on in the graveyard slots.

You didn't mention the worst part - they're not just banning them being shown on Saturday nights, they're banning them ever being scheduled against commercial rivals. I forsee a nice job on ITV's board for John Whittingdale once he's done giving the hand of the free market a little help.

Is there anyway to directly send a message to Corbyn enlisting the Jewish Socalists to handle PR for them? Or do I have to drive a semi into his office and give him the letter by hand.

Fair play to her for not falling for the "when did you stop beating your wife?" loaded question bollocks they've been trying all week. I don't want a return to the Miliband days of issuing grovelling apologies for things we didn't do. Remember when we did that about Broon and the Poonds and now it's accepted truth that Labour caused a global recession?

Insisting that people's favourite programs should be shown at awkward times doesn't look like a vote winner to me, I rather doubt they'll stick to that one. (I also doubt that anyone's prime complaint about Pissflaps is that he causes thread derails.)

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...in-banners.htmlhilter, but like in newspaper form posted:Jeremy Corbyn has been accused of keeping 'controversial company' after marchers on the May Day rally were seen carrying Stalin banners. So Corbyn shows up to an over hundred year old public event where communists also show up. This makes Corbyn a Communist, because he was there. Even though he wasn't really anywhere near them, and didn't talk with them, or anything. This also makes him anti-semitic because (???) There's a bit where they say it's "his" parade, even though it's older than him and has no labour party involvement in the organizing.

Just to copy-paste this from the Scotpol thread. "LOLSNPWINS" jabby posted:Virtually facepalmed today when I saw that the reaction to Livingstone's massive mess was to send Diane Abbott in to sort everything out. Media competence is never labour's thing even when blairites do it. Hence why the Jewish Socalists would be alright to handle this current issue. The media will have a difficult time trying to get a message of labour as antisemitisc across while a group of jewish representives on the behalf of the labour are explaining the differences between them. The media can't exactly label the Jewish Socalists as antisemitisc for explaining that poo poo, otherwise they just look stupid in return. I mean they can, but what else can we do? The best way to deal with the media is to let them hit themselves with a loaded question or bait them into a trap where they start desepertly try to escape the situtation they got themselves into. serious gaylord posted:Also this is about as blatant it can be that they want the BBC to fail. And they will get away with it too because of Ken livingston being a ultra loving stupid twat that should of died in a fire.

NO gently caress YOU DAD posted:She said Livingstone's comments were offensive but the party doesn't have an "antisemitism problem" and accusations that it does are politically motivated. What did she do wrong? The idea that Labour doesn't have any kind of problem with anti-semitism appears at odds with their decision to launch an independent inquiry into it. It takes a delicate touch to reconcile those two ideas to the media, and Diane Abbott doesn't really have it. I'm not saying she said anything outrageous, but she comes across as confrontational and dismissive rather than appropriately concerned. The question 'Should Ken Livingstone apologise?' shouldn't really be answered with a laugh and the reply 'When have you ever known Ken to apologise for anything?'

The more I think about the inquiry the more it seems like a bad idea, though I don't know what other token gesture they could have made. If that Heil article is anything to go by, 'why isn't Corbyn going back in time to launch it before Ken even opened his mouth' is going to be the new talking point. When it reports, it's either going to be 'LABOUR ADMITS IT HATES JEWS' or 'LABOUR IN ANTISEMITISM WHITEWASH'.

The question 'Should Ken Livingstone apologise?' shouldn't really be answered with a laugh and the reply 'When have you ever known Ken to apologise for anything?' The trouble is there are two separate questions being conflated here, "is there a streak of antisemitism within the Labour party" and "does Labour have a problem on the subject of antisemitism". The latter's tautologically true, there's a problem because it's being pushed as the big story of the moment, Corbyn and Labour's enemies have pounced on the narrative, so Labour need to be seen to be addressing the possibility. Which is why they're doing an inquiry, to make sure and deal with anything that does come up At the same time, they need to be careful that they don't appear to admit to these accusations, and basically confirm all the insinuations and attacks. If people are saying 'Labour is extremist and racist' and Labour's only response is 'we're launching a full investigation to root out this racism' then it's basically copping to it. So it's not really surprising that they have people strongly denying it, dismissing it, treating it as 'Livingstone fucks up again' etc. They need to stand their ground or it'll look like a coverup that's been exposed

But actually yes they were  The CPGB, like basically every early 20th century Communist Party was founded in direct response to the October Revolution, and it's ideological heritage is Marxism-Leninism which is from the USSR. They never pretended to be anything else.

Which is why they're doing an inquiry, to make sure and deal with anything that does come up The problem with insisting there's no problem is that quite a few Labour MPs are gleefully admitting there's a huge problem. It's very hard to try and paint this as a political smear when the calls for action are coming from within the party, even though most of us know they are being made for political ends too. The leadership has to be seen to take some action, but at the same time trying to avoid the narrative forming that Labour are an anti-semitic party. That's what I meant by this being a careful balancing act. The recent Jewish Socialists press release is a masterful example of reconciling this, Diane Abott's interview was not.
